Description
Lead Sulfide Quantum Dots (PbS QDs) – 1250 nm
Lead Sulfide Quantum Dots (PbS QDs) are near-infrared (NIR) semiconductor nanocrystals that offer size-tunable band-edge absorption and a broad spectral response. With an emission peak at 1250 nm, they are especially important for telecommunications, optoelectronic devices, infrared photodetection, and solar energy technologies.
PbS QDs exhibit remarkable photophysical and photoelectrical properties, including long exciton lifetimes, strong quantum confinement effects, and excellent carrier mobility. Their broad absorption spectrum makes them highly versatile, enabling applications from advanced photovoltaics to next-generation biomedical imaging. By carefully tuning particle size, their optical properties can be customized for specific requirements, which positions them as a reliable material for both scientific research and industrial applications.
